I have two MacConnection Rodime 20s here.  Neither of them has the original
system (which seems to have the international resource set to England, as I
was getting pound signs and various other odd symbols) but are using System
4.0 (I think) and Finder 5.5.

Both have been running flawlessly.  Except for an occasional high-pitched
squeal, I'm more than happy with it. (I don't hear it, but everyone else around
me does.  Either they're trying to drive me mad or I've been listening to too
much loud music)    It's connected to a Macintosh Plus with the old style
keyboard.
